CU RTAlN-FIXTU RE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 588,024, dated August10, 1897.

Application filed March 20, 1897. Serial No. 628,551. (No model.) 7 l T0 all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ANNA SOUTHWELL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State ofWisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements inCurtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in curtain-fixtures.

The object of my invention is to provide means for hanging the curtainwithout rings, pins, or other fastenings such as are now commonlyemployed for this purpose, which will permit the curtain to hang ingraceful folds, and in which the curtain may be adjusted to any desiredlength and the adj ustment changed at pleasure.

In the following description reference is had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention as itis attached to the window-frame, with dotted lines showing a curtain asit is supported thereby. Fig. 2 is a sectional view drawn on the line a:or of Fig. 1.

Like parts are identified by the same reference-letters in both views.

Referring to the drawings, it will be observed that my curtain-fixturecomprises a series of three parallel bars A, B, and 0, offset betweentheir respective ends from the window-frame, and united at their endsinto feet D, which conform to the surface of the window-frame and areadapted to facilitate the attachment of the fixture thereto.

My fixture is preferably formed of a single the return fold beingpreferably arranged to exclude the bars from view.

As the spaces G and H extend to the extreme ends or feet of the fixture,it is obvious that the curtains may, if desired, be supported at theirouter edges in the offsetting projections J J thus adding materially tothe neat appearance of the curtains when hung upon my fixture.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a curtainfixture comprising three ormore parallel bars, offset between their respective ends, and having theends of the two outer bars provided with loops or openings for theattachmentscrews, said bars being formed integrally and in a fixedrelation to each other, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

ANNA SOUTHVVELL.
